[...] strict water standards, but it doesn’t. Michelle Malkin posted a full review of the story – Bias alert: The Cheney/KBR-deranged Associated Press spins a DoD report on water quality in Iraq – and unlike the AP story written by Larry Margasak, she took the 20 minutes required to read the [...]

They’re just testing super-AIDS on the troops before they use it on the rest of Iraq. There insatiable lust for oil drives them, as the black gold swims through their veins, controlling their every thought and action. Oh, what can stop these nefarious supervillians? Super Sean Penn? the Mighty Ted Turner? Cindy Sheehan aka The BanShee? Find out on the episode of ‘Misleading information, Stuff taken out of context, and Downright Lies!”

With the overwhelming number of AP personnel infesting the region most of which have a long history of unsavory behavior and less-than-sanitary standards of living, decades of experience has demanded an additional layer of safety checks be performed on the regions water. As previously found on numerous occasions, the AP brings with it an increase in bacterial infections wherever it travels. In short, the infectious AP is a danger to your health everywhere it is or has been.

Oh yeah…the daily daily’s left me with such a case of the hajji hustle, that I quit taking them altogether. We found out later, that our AO as never in the mosquito belt anyway.

Yep that. My first tour was OIF-2. The ROWPU guys prided themselves on the water quality they made from the nasty canal water they drew from. Just so you know, the more shallow canals here are used for anything and everything…same water, for any purpose. ANY purpose, let your imagination run wild, you won’t be far off. Case in point; watched on the eye-in-the-sky camera two females relieve themselves, then filled a bucket and 5 gallon jug from the same location to take back to their home. The ROWPU’s (reverse osmosis water purification unit. Big truck with a big complicated filter system. RE: Pauly Shore movie “In the Army now”) have no problem cleaning it up. This same canal supplied all our non-bottled water for the FOB. Sure, they didn’t clean it 100%, as that would use up large piles of filters, but they did clean it enough for chlorine and other safety chemicals to make it safe to wash with.

Long story sgort…this “reporter” has no scruples or class, and nothing but lies for the rest of us.

How come every time they mention Halliburton they have to remind us about Cheney’s former ties to the company?

Yet whenever there’s a story about how evil Wal-mart is, you don’t see them reminding us that Hillary Clinton was on their Board of Directors. How much of their evil profits came from her ties when she was first lady and now a Senator?

The AP makes me sick!

They never pass up any opportunity to dump on the US and our troops. The fecal count in any of their stories is off the charts!

AP seems to be yet another enemy of our country.
They used to be a decent agency competing with UPI and Reuters back in the 1960s. I wonder what happened? Jane Fonda – types infiltrated their ranks?

They had a story about the local water sources throughout the U.S contaminated by Rx drugs yesterday, as well. More of the same scare tactics about how we're all going to die by drinking trace amounts of chemicals that may somehow combine to give us all super-AIDS. Of course they never gave the risk assessment of these drugs, and the effects such small amounts would have, likely because there are none. However, they did interview alarmists and tell us there was evidence, without citing such evidence of course.

I was not aware that cellulitis was linked to water impurities. I know a few Marines who were diagnosed with it that were using only bottled water.

I’m not saying I’m an expert on this- just suggesting there are other factors at work here.

You ain’t lyin’. In Turkey, we celebrated “Manic Monday” every week after taking the malaria pills. I woke up on night thinking Cujo was standing over my bunk (and that’s not the most disturbing dream I had)

We had signs not just on the latrine doors, but above every ONE of the sinks, telling us not to use the water to brush our teeth. Of course, some ID10T did, and he got ulcers all over his tongue and the inside of his mouth. Gross.
